By His side

We all want God to be on our side. The question to ask ourselves is:  Are we on God’s side?

In times of fear or uncertainty, it should be comforting to know that God has always remained close to his people. Though the Israelites did not always follow the Lord every step of the way, while they traveled through the desert for 40 years, he remained faithful to them. He kept them sheltered and fed through his mighty hand. He has always kept his eye on them and has wooed them like the great Father he is.

Though the social fabric of society may be coming apart at the seams, do not be alarmed. When we are abiding in Christ, there is nothing to fear because we are held in the palm of his hand. We are as close as marrow is to bone. He remains with us always. He is faithful to fulfill his promises to us. May we always remain faithful to him.

God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
 Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change,
though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;
 though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble with its tumult ~ Psalm 46:1-3
